When this is relevant in India

A certified copy of a Dutch notarial document may be requested when an Indian recipient cannot accept a normal scan or informal copy of a Dutch notarial deed.

✓Property, POA, company, inheritance, banking, court, contract or lawyer files
✓Requests involving Dutch notarial deeds, certified copies, old notarial records, company deeds, share documents or powers of attorney
✓Situations where notarial certification, apostille, translation or courier delivery may be required

Notarial source and wording matter

Indian recipients may ask for a certified copy, notarised copy, true copy, apostilled copy or original deed. These are not always the same route in the Netherlands.

✓Check whether the recipient needs a copy certified by the notary, a court-related copy or another route
✓Apostille and translation requirements should be checked before ordering
✓Older notarial documents may involve archive, successor-notary or copy-availability questions

How the process works

The exact instruction from the Indian receiving party is usually the best starting point.

1

Share the request

Send the lawyer email, registrar checklist, bank note, authority message, court instruction, employer request, university note or screenshot.

2

Review the route

The situation is reviewed to identify whether apostille, translation, recent issue, certified copy handling, original paper document or courier delivery may be needed.

3

Confirm handling

Any service fee, government fee, apostille step, translation step, supporting document or courier option is confirmed before work begins.

4

Coordinate next steps

Apostille Assist coordinates the agreed route and keeps communication clear while the Dutch document is prepared for India.

Common certified-copy situations in India

✓Requests from Indian lawyers, banks, registrars, companies, property parties or courts

What information helps?

The exact instruction can clarify whether a certified copy route is possible and what certification is expected.

✓Which notarial document is needed and who issued it
✓Whether the Indian recipient asks for certified copy, true copy, apostille, translation, original deed or notarised copy
✓Any notary name, deed date, file reference, lawyer email, bank checklist or delivery address
